Situational Items: Consider adjusting your defensive rune shard based on lane opponent (Armor vs AD, Magic Resist vs AP). Build path should be adapted based on team compositions and game state.

Remember that champion counters are important but personal skill, team composition, and overall game knowledge are crucial factors for success with Kai'Sa in the jungle role.
